Learning is based on developing an understanding of footwork, technical skills, and basic tactics. Our coaching team has a great deal of experience working with developing players and tournament players alike.

The High-Performance Tennis Program develops players by providing a full tactical understanding of the game and then ensures players are taught, acquire, and enhance the skills necessary to execute the tactics in match play. The program is led by Andy Sutton (UTC’s Tennis Director, a Tennis Canada certified Coach 3 and an Ontario Tennis Association certified Club Professional 3, and Head Ontario Coach Developer) and Liam Sutton (UTC’s Head Professional, an Ontario Tennis Association Club Professional 2 candidate, and member of the York Lion’s Varsity Tennis Team). This program is designed to develop all facets of our players’ games by focusing on their tactical, technical, physical, and psychological skills. We address physical skills to assist with lateral movement, balance, agility, and speed during the tennis training.
Match play will be integrated into the program to allow players to compete under the watchful eye of the coaching staff. Players will be coached on match management techniques and how to analyze opponents playing style, weaknesses, and strengths. Coaches will also advise and give tips on tactical play and to make sure the players are using the technical skill learned in the training sessions while they compete. This is the best way to develop good habits!!
